“I can announce that the San Paolo will remain Napoli’s home,”
“We reached an agreement, there will be a bilateral commission set up by the Naples Council and Napoli football club, but we have already found the solution which will be innovative.
“Napoli will have the rights to ownership of the stadium and the adjacent zones, so to do everything we need to make it to the maximum level of European standards. The Caserta option has been abandoned.
“We got into details, establishing a deal on the fact this stadium will be in Naples with guaranteed returns of investment.”
Mayor Luigi De Magistris
“Napoli will soon have a stadium worthy of the team and the city. This is a challenge I want to win. De Laurentiis wants to make important investments into the San Paolo, which is currently used once every 15 days.
“We want to re-qualify the Fuorigrotta area around the stadium with spaces for music and entertainment. At the centre of it will be a wonderful stadium with the Napoli museum inside.”
“What we can be certain of is that the restructuring will not prevent Napoli from playing at the San Paolo during the season, nor will the Council pay a single Euro, as it will all be done by private enterprise.
from the same article :
There are three different options for how the deal will be struck. The first is for the Council to loan the land to the club for 99 years (the system adopted by Udinese and Juventus), selling the stadium to Napoli (which would take an extremely long time due to the problems with the current legal framework) or giving De Laurentiis the right to build on the land.
